There are early legends of human flight such as the story of Icarus, and Jamshid in Persian myth, and later, somewhat more credible claims of short-distance human flights appear, such as the flying automaton of Archytas of Tarentum ( 428 – 347 BC ), the winged flights of Abbas Ibn Firnas ( 810 – 887 ), Eilmer of Malmesbury ( 11th century ), and the hot-air Passarola of Bartolomeu Lourenço de Gusmão ( 1685 – 1724 ).

In reaction, the FLN set up the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic ( Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Algérienne, GPRA ), a government-in-exile headed by Abbas and based in Tunis.

In Tunis, Abbas acknowledged that de Gaulle's statement might be accepted as a basis for settlement, but the French government refused to recognize the GPRA as the representative of Algeria's Muslim community.

In 1618, García de Silva Figueroa, King Philip III of Spain's ambassador to the court of Shah Abbas, the Safavid monarch, was the first Western traveller to correctly identify the ruins of Takht-e Jamshid as the location of Persepolis.

Presumably this must have been done with the connivance of his brother Mahdi-qoli Khan, who had succeeded his father in 1806 as governor of Shusha in the service of the Russians. In 1818, long before the outbreak of the Second Russo-Persian War, Abbas Mirza invaded the territory to which the Russians laid claim and which was de facto under their sovereignty ; supported by 100 horsemen, he brought Abul-Fath Khan back by force. What happened to Abul-Fath Khan thereafter is not known ; he does not appear to have taken part in the battles of the Second Russo-Persian War.

During this time he published Histoire de Nader Chah ( 1770 ), a French translation of a work originally written in Persian by Mirza Mehdi Khan Astarabadi.

Mirza won her first round match against Michelle Larcher de Brito at the U. S. Open, but she went down fighting 20th seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the second round.

Prince, Field-Marshal Abbas Mirza ( عباس میرزا in Persian ) born Navaa village ( August 26, 1789 – October 25, 1833 ), was a Qajar crown prince of Persia.

Preferring the friendship of France, Abbas Mirza continued the war against Russia's General Kotlyarevsky, but his new ally could give him very little assistance.

When the peace treaty was signed in February, 1828, Abbas Mirza sought to restore order in the province of Khorasan, which was nominally under Persian supremacy, and while engaged in the task died at Mashhad in 1833.

Furthermore, it was Abbas Mirza who first dispatched Iranian students to Europe for a western education.

Mossadegh was born to a prominent family in Tehran in 1882 ; his father, Mirza Hideyatu ' llah Khan, a Bakhtiari tribesman, was a financial administrator in Khorasan province under the Qajar dynasty and his mother, Shahzadi Malika Taj Khanum, was the granddaughter of the reformist Qajar prince Abbas Mirza, and a great granddaughter of Fat ′ h-Ali Shah Qajar.

Unexpectedly, Abbas now chose as heir the son of Mohammed Baqir Mirza, Sam Mirza, a cruel and introverted character who was said to loathe his grandfather because of his father ’ s murder.

He obtained money at Constantinople and at Aleppo, and was very well received by the Shah, Abbas the Great, who made him a Mirza, or prince, and granted certain trading and other rights to all Christian merchants.
